Voyager
the sequel to Dragonfly in Amber and the
third book in Diana Gabaldon's fantastic Outlander
series begins with Jamie surviving the battle of Culloden. The
battle he believed he would die in. The battle he and Claire tried
to stop, and when they were unable, he sent Claire to the future to ensure
her safety from.
Claire is still in the 20th century with her daughter and is slowly convinced by Roger Wakefield that Jamie survived the battle that he intended to die fighting in.
With this knowledge she has no choice but to return through the stones once more.
Tearfully leaving her daughter behind in the 20th century she searches out her husband in the 18th century.
After surprising Jamie in Edinburgh they return to Lallybrook where it is Claire's turn for a shock. This comes in the shape of Laoghaire, who is now the wife of Jamie.
But these problems pale in comparison with the kidnapping of Jamie's nephew Ian and they set out over seas once more. A trial for the seasick Jamie. They travel across the ocean to America in search of Ian.
With pirates and the reappearance of Geillis Duncan we discover more about the standing stones and about a body discovered in the 20th century in a cave.
With action on the high seas, in the highlands, and into the American colonies this book is a worthy addition to this series and leaves us once more with cliffhangers to keep us wanting more. And this comes in the form of Drums of Autumn.
